A Louisiana teacher who spoke out against a superintendent’s new contract was handcuffed and arrested during a school board meeting in an incident caught on video.

At the meeting Monday, Deyshia Hargrave brought up the issue of teacher salary and a raise that was included in a new contract for the superintendent, according to members of the Vermilion Parish School Board. Hargrave is an English language arts teacher at Rene A. Rost Middle School in Kaplan, Louisiana, according to the school’s website.

Board members told NBC News that the meeting was called to vote on whether to approve a new contract for superintendent Jermone Puyau. The final version of the contract that was approved included a $30,000 raise for Puyau, Board President Anthony Fontana said.

Vermilion Parish Superintendent Jerome Puyau told CBS News’ David Begnaud there are things he wishes he did differently at Monday night’s board meeting. He vows the district will learn from this incident, but says the backlash has taken a toll on him and his family.

“I hated what happened,” Puyau said.

The superintendent said he and his staff have been receiving threats ever since Hargrave’s arrest.
